ER and OR in Chicago and NY

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am a RN nurse and i am about to take the NCLEX exam

I don't know yet if i will work in Chicago or in New York. I might also go to Austin Texas in 1 or 2 years

Actually i have a lot of questions

I am interested in ER and OR

I am wondering how much i am supposed to earn as a new grad RN nurse in those states. I have about one year experience abroad as a nurse but i have not been practising for the last 6 months.

Is it easy to get a position in those fields ?

Do anybody has some tips to help to find a good hospital in those places ?

I don't know either if i will be able to get a permanent position straight away or just get a 3 or 6 month contract ?

I hope you all will be able to answer

I have so much to learn

I have been working in the OR for about 2 years. I started after graduation from nursing school. It is a totally different field of nursing than working on the floors. I love my job, but when it comes to salary at my hospital..I'm am better off looking for another OR job at a different hospital. I live in PA. If you want more info regarding the work of an OR nurse let me know....Good luck
